Ingredients
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut in half
3/4 cup Spanish chorizo sausage, sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Large granule sea salt to taste
Directions
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute until it shimmers.
Add the sliced Spanish chorizo to the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are lightly browned and the fat begins to render.
Add the trimmed asparagus pieces to the skillet with the chorizo. Stir to coat the asparagus with the oil and chorizo fat.
Continue cooking for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the asparagus is tender and both the asparagus and chorizo develop golden-brown color.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish generously with large granule sea salt. Serve immediately while hot.
